Did you have a face-off with the Russian Navy because they didn’t want you guys to be in or near the wreckage site?
We were just outside the 12 mile international waters limit and the Russians were just inside the limit.
Everybody was looking for the black box, them and us.
We would cruise back and forth along the line.
It was probably one of the most tense sutuations I can remember.
I can remember walking through CIC and hearing, "If something goes down we take out this one first, this one next, and if we're still around then we go for this one."
Enough to make you pray for peace.
